An unnotable creationist "museum" ran by a local Arkansas man.[1] Other than some articles about its opening in 2005--three years ago-- there doesn't seem to be any sources that proves its significance/notability. The most recent news on its website is from about a year ago.[2] Paper45tee (talk) 21:15, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep (or possibly merge with Eureka Springs, Arkansas.) The fact that the opening attracted attention of the British media (the Guardian), and not just the local media contributes to notability as defined by the guideline. Merging is also possible, for in an article on a town, some description of the local attractions are to be expected. I am a bit unsure if this museum is large enough, or controversial enough, for a separate article, but there is no compelling need to simply delete verifiable information. For a personal opinion, I think I'll say that founding a museum based on creationism and calling it something semi-scientific as "Museum of Earth History", is within the realms of the absurd, but my distaste for the museum's mission has no impact on its notability.

- Keep for the same reason we keep Chariots of the Gods? While the concept for the museum is, to me, laughable, it is somewhat notable for simply existing and it has received national news coverage.—RJH (talk) 19:58, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Can anyone find any sources in the last three years? This is located in a town of less than three thousand people and has unsteady operating hours. The only sources are about its opening. This place seems to have marginal importance when it opened and less importance since then. Paper45tee (talk) 22:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep notable nonsense, though it ought to be brought up to date. Even if the had to close down, it would just be all the more significant.DGG (talk) 04:06, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. International mainstream press coverage seems sufficient. Espresso Addict (talk) 19:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
